>sports
if you solely buy for the track i get, but majority of the owners are: to flex/pick up chicks, drive on the street as if it was a track like a retard, bought because can't afford a powerful car and an equivalent fast bike is 10x cheaper

>naked
at least their owners know that sports bikes are a stupid concept outside of the track, other than that very similar to faired bikes.

cruiser
>club larping

>touring
they cost as much as an economy class car, so why even?

>off-road
kind of an exception since it's never a means of transport and unlike sports bike users their users always use it like they're meant to be

>scooter
not a motorcycle but only legit two-wheeler, very economical and why ride a car if you're a loner in hot climate and are a bum?

>>28557775
No. "Club larping" is just another way to say "extrovert hobby". And some people actually go on tracks with their sports bikes.

I would also add that nakeds and sports tourers are like sports cars (or supercars if they have 175+ hp) unlike sports bikes which are like road legal race cars.

>>28557776
you done with your stroke yet? luckily 3.0 is the most common diesel engine and you amerimutts salivate over diesel wagons rare in the us and a econo shitbox in europe

This is like someone in the FnF acting like they're talking about cars but are saying absolute gibberish.

For fun

>they cost as much as an economy class car, so why even?

Mine don't because I'm a CISHET White male I chose to be competent at multiple skills including doing all my own car, truck and motorcycle repair, maintenance and modification. Not difficult for the determined and pays off in many pragmatic ways like becoming a general DIY master. I had a fun econobox (VW Scirocco) for several years but it failed to be a truck so I sold it cheap to a bro who needed a commuter car.

>>28557745 (OP)
It's fun

>>28557745 (OP)
>kind of an exception since it's never a means of transport
Once you put lights, signals, and a plate on a dirt bike, you can absolutely use it for errands. You HAVE to use a milk crate though.

>>28557745 (OP)
>what really is the point of motorcycles?
Enjoyment.

>>28557745 (OP)
Point is having fun, very few things in life feel as good if you're the right type of person for it. You list these classes as some niches but know that in-betweens and all-rounders are a thing if you want to do be able to do many things with one bike.

Also- with bike you don't have to worry about being stuck in traffic as much, and parking is possible everywhere.

HYB, bikes are cheap economical and practical ... but they aren't if you take them to "the guy" when they need something. Our local shop is known for shoddy work too anyhow, I'm much better off loosing and tightening my own bolts!

>>28558119
My friends and I do quite a bit. Lil underseat storage, drawstring bag, bookbag, bungie cords, ratchet straps can help you carry things or if you need more the ol milk crate, if you're fancy, mounted bags!

Cuts 1/3 of the time off of my commute because lane split/filter.
No parking issues.
Do shenanigans in cars, get copped. Do moto shenanigans, cops generally ok.

>Scooter
>Not a motorcycle
Tap tap tap. Scooters (and mini motos) are the true form of motorcycling. Everyone else buys a motorcycle for an image so they can cop with their weekend warrior lifestyle. Scooter chads don't bother with such things because we are busy door dashing through the sidewalks to skip traffic. And much like model plane guys, we live in a constant state of build, break, and rebuild. "Real motorcycle" faggots cry in shame because they dropped their $15k outsourced slop in front of their boyfriends.

In conclusion, scooter a best.

I never understood the point of a sportscar on the road. It's as wide as the lane you occupy so you have no room to choose any line through a corner. You're forced to drive on this tight narrow track

>>28557788
Two of the current best lap times on the Nurburgring are from a Ford Mustang and a Chevrolet Corvette.

Really cool, can own hyper-car levels of performance for less than the average new car. Very fast.

Really fun around town, smokes most cars. Wheelie machines.

Just guys that like to chill after their 9-5 desk job.

Chill guys that like to go places. Best life long riders usually.
>off-road
Fun.

Practical cheap transportation.

You can't see it in this photo but those cars are stopped and the bikes are about to shave 30mins off their commute. If california does anything right it's this shit

To be the next popular vehicle browns and manlets have been ruining in the past 2-3 years (and most likely the upcoming 3-5)

I ride my motorcycle to work every day :)
It has luggage on it so I can bring home groceries for my family easily

If it were possible for high performance 2 strokes to not need constant rebuilds I'd own nothing but KTM 300 SCWs. I'd even strap 4 of them together for a Megazord car.

On that note WHY do 2 strokes wear out so damn fast. Sheesh.

Nigger what the fuck are you talking about. In america, a vehicle that can't safely do highway speed is unsuitable for basic transportation. This means that anyone in America running a scooter isn't riding one because they want to, they're riding one because they have to. Because there's some scrub ass mother fucker that lost their license or can't afford a car.

I ride a motorcycle because I want to. I also own a car because outside of being active duty military or some college kid in arizona, you need a car. We are not the same. I'll still wave to scooters depending on my mood but we do not have similar lives or hobbies and I do not consider them one of my people.

>$15k
You can buy a used version of anything you want for $3,000 or less these days.

>>28557776
BUT MY DIESEL GERMAN KEKBOX IS GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT WHY DO YOU AMERICANS KEEP MAKING SUCH FAST CARS

>>28565686
In most US places anything that is feasibly fast enough to operate on typical public roads requires licensing. Most larger powered scooters can sustain 25mph, and most places the law says 15 under the posted limit is legally not disturbing traffic. Therefore its feasible for someone with less sense to use a not slow but not fast, scooter on 35mph roadways legally. Therefore most places require licensing for scooters above a certain size.
It's to deter people with less sense from becoming road paste.

>>28562224
You're confusing sports cars and supercars here. Supercars are long, wide, heavy and unwealdy (Audi R8, modern GTR, lambos etc)

Sports cars a light, small, and nimble (Mx5, st185 celica, AE86, MR2, etc.)

Supercars absolutely are huge and insane for the road. An opinion I also hold for litrebikes/Superbikes. But sports cars are made for the road bby. Take an MX5 to the track and you're going to be bored by how slow it is, but on t he public twisties, she comes alive.

>>28557745 (OP)
The point is fun. The physics of riding a bike are just more fun than a car can give you. You will have more fun dicking around on even a Grom than you would driving a sportscar that cost 20x as much.

>>28565686
>a vehicle that can't safely do highway speed is unsuitable for basic transportation
Not only is that the most retarded take I've heard this week, but I take my scooter into the highway all the time if the speed minimum permits.
>This means that anyone in America running a scooter isn't riding one because they want to, they're riding one because they have to.
You are wrong because I chose to ride one. Also you have never seen the GY6 community. People love building these things. Especially 2 strokes.
>you need a car. We are not the same
But I have a car, too. A 2000 ranger. And I own two scooters. How many motorcycles do you own?
>You can buy a used version of anything you want for $3,000 or less these days.
It is called exaggeration, Mr. Autismo.

In conclusion, I mog you. GG no re.

>>28562735
You know what would shave 30min off everyone's commute?
Kill every brown

>>28557745 (OP)
it's cheaper than a car, easier to fix, small enough in hide inside ur house.

if riding were more expensive than a car, i neve would have got into it

>take my scooter into the highway all the time if the speed minimum permits
Cool. I take any of my vehicles anywhere because they're not so pathetic they can't do the speed limit. It's rather nice not gimping myself for no benefit.
>I chose to ride one
You are the automotive equivalent of hobbyhorsing. There's something wrong with you, you either just don't know it or you're like people who are openly furry, a depressing reminder of the consequences of unconditional tolerance.
>you have never seen the GY6 community. People love building these things.
Yeah thank fucking God I've never seen y'all. I think I'd take permanent psychological damage witnessing that level of cringe.
>How many motorcycles do you own?
At the moment, zero! Here's a pic of the most recent one that has been sold to make way for a '78 GS1000 I'm flying out to ride clear across the continent via the highways on Monday.
>Mr. Autismo
Where exactly do you think you are right now?
>>28565809
>I mog you.
You're tuning the literal slowest and cheapest possible road legal vehicles. For performance. Out of a storage unit. One of the tiny budget storage units, at that. You mog yourself harder than I ever could so I guess I have to respect that.

Fuck off.

>>28567183
I don't know, dude. All I can tell you is that I seem to be enjoying myself more than you do (It's a side effect of scooter riding). It's just a small motorcycle. I don't see why you are so booty blasted.

Also, personal attacks are not an argument. Try again next time.

>>28560898
There is zero reason that you can't daily a $4000 SV650. Is it as practical as a maxi scooter? No. Is it worth to not have to buy a second two wheeler for fun? Arguably.

>>28565683
Same for cars? Or slipping from your bathroom?

>>28567183
>NC
Cute. I'll be down there sat enjoying the day and getting a snack

>>28567402
You're right. But I chose a scooter because a scooter was my first vehicle so they hold a special place iny heart. They're just like little two wheeled, street legal go karts to me.

>>28567813
You choose scooter because you're brown and poor

>>28567816
Whiter than you, Achmed.

That's right. Just keep dancing, monkey. I also ride my scooter better than you.

>>28567863
Nta, but that monkey dancing meme has been around since there was only two boards here.
Why feed the troll?

>>28567867
So he is literally just an old fart? Lmao. I know it's the same guy from before, though.

Kid has main character syndrome
